OneDrive sharing with groups
Hello, We have a M365 group that has around 130 users in it and used it to share a file every week to users. Now all of a sudden it has stopped working and displays the message below: I h...

I'm not clear on why you're sharing with OneDrive. The M365 group comes with its own SharePoint storage that all group members have access to.
Perhaps you could explain your (seemingly nonstandard) sharing setup.

Mike Williams Like Christian Duguay was saying, our users use the M365 as a distribution list not knowing it is also a SharePoint site, mailbox, and much more even though we have had plenty of training in our organization on these. I find myself deleting and recreating groups often because our users do not know that they are creating a M365 group when they click the "New Group" button in Outlook and not a distribution list.
When I logged in this morning I found that after copying the membership of the group and putting it into a mail-enabled security group with a slightly different name has fixed the issue. I did the same thing for the M365 group as well as a test and that worked too but we are going to stick with the mail-enabled group as they only want a distribution list that also gives access to the file in OneDrive.
Per jcgonzalezmartin 's suggestion I have opened an incident with Microsoft since I am seeing more and more groups show up like this inside of OneDrive when trying to share.
- Just saying, but you should consider restricting who can create M365 groups. I am glad I did , because just as you says, people were creating M365 groups using the "New group button" in outlook without knowing the difference.
In our case, these are Teams groups, so I can't delete and recreate easily. Please, let me know if you have a reply from microsoft on this.
